Walk ’til you drop

The Freedom Trail is one popular attraction in Boston, and I completed it over the course of three days. It really was only a few hours in total, but I tend to get sidetracked when I stumble upon aesthetically pleasing sights.

As with every city I’ve visited thus far, I do my best to get good rest at night (with a few exceptions when I decide I’d like to experience night life in certain places). Then I get up in the morning and eat breakfast, and prepare myself for hours of walking. (Then once I get back to the hostel, I plop down on a seat in the common area or on my bed and have to fight a mental battle to get back up again.)

Of course, there’s the subway, and as I purchased I week pass in Boston, I made sure to use it. But you always see much more by walking and you can easily stop to take photos.

So, here are a few more:

Saw a band performing while walking around, so I stopped by and discovered Midnight Snack! There was a chill vibe while they played and sang. I also thought about how a few hundred years ago, people were hung here. It was hard to imagine while music was in the air. (See below the gallery for a snippet of their performance that day!)

I was on the way to Paul Revere’s house when I took this picture.

I did go off the trail several times, so I ended up spreading it out over a few days.
